282 Scene along the gorge, Niagara Falls
Trolley Line Through the Gorge, Niagara Falls.
The ruggedness and picturesqueness of nature about Niagara Falls has
been seriously modified by the arts of man, the latest invasion being the
construction of a Trolley Line through the Gorge, starting at Prospect
Park and passing close to Whirlpool Rapids and the River, until it reaches
Queenstown Heights. The ride is one of the sensations of pleasure
and surprise, which sometimes approaches trepidation, as towering rocks,
looming threateningly over the tracks cut through bluffs, produce a feeling
of insecurity.
